U+71F8 "燸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

燸

U+71F8 "燸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character that falls under the radical for fire (火) and is traditionally read as "ru" or "nuo" with varying pronunciations. It generally refers to the act of heating or warming something gently, often associated with simmering or cooking over low heat, and appears in classical Chinese texts rather than modern everyday usage. This character is part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, which encodes characters from Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese writing systems, though "燸" carries specific semantic nuance tied to gradual thermal processes in historical contexts.
